I personally have several ginger cats, yes, not only one but four ginger cats. They are all came from different families. Among of my four ginger cats, I have one female ginger cat that I found near my house that seems homeless and she was only a little kitten. The female ginger kitten I have found is so cute and adorable. Her fur is so bright, shiny and clean and I wonder where she came from. Except endangered animals, adopting pets in my country is easy and acceptable without having to take it first to any pet’s center to get the ownership certification. So, I decided to raise her and didn’t know at first that female ginger cats apparently are less common than male ginger cats.
I raise four of my ginger cats not at the same time, I got them one by one and two of them, I only found it near my house, as homeless little kittens. I love animals and I cannot bear to let them be homeless and neglected. So, as long as I could take care of them, I would love to raise them. Two of my ginger cats died because of sickness, including the female ginger cat. All the ginger cats I found actually are feral cats. They always love to play outside and I cannot hold them in the house because they like to explore anything outside my house. My female ginger cat had given birth to three little kittens and all of them was male ginger cats. They are cute and adorable, have white, bright colors at birth, but a week later the colors changed to orange and yellow, common colors that ginger cats have. The two of them died after one day they were born, and I raise the only one left. He’s getting bigger and mating with a female calico cat I have. Then, my female calico cat gave birth to two little kittens, one is a female calico kitten and another one is a male ginger kitten. The last ginger cat I have.

There’s a theory that explained why female ginger cats are less common than male ginger cats. So, the ginger gene from a ginger cat that produces orange color of its fur is on the X chromosome. Female cats have two X chromosomes (XX), so in order to get a female ginger cat; they need to carry two copies of ginger cat’s genes in each X chromosome. Compare to male cats that only had one chromosome (XY).
